[Agent] It's just protocol, man.
Tell us what we wanna know.
Tell us.
Stuart, you ever drink
your own blood, Stuart?
No.
You ever mess around with black magic?
No.
Well, you're about to.
You gotta do your civic duty.
You're about to, Stuart.
This will be about
you helping us help you.
No.
Come on, man, it's okay.
[Agent] We've got something
we need you to do, Stuart.
We need you to help us out.
Come on, Stu.
[Agent] You gotta do your civic duty
and help out Uncle Sam, Stuart okay.
But I gotta drink blood.
What kind of shit is this?
- Listen.
We have a problem with the
federal government computers.
I don't know if you've
been reading the news
and it kind of all leads
back to you, Stuart,
and whatever you were doing
in that stupid house you were living in.
But you're gonna help
us get outta this mess.
Help us out, Stuart.
I thought I was done.
- No.
- Just that house.
Help us out.
Help us help you.
[Agent] Just relax.
- Relax.
- Oh.
Finally.
[Agent] Take it easy.
Oh.
Relax.
Relax your arm.
Relax.
Relax.
What'd you, no, chill out.
Relax.
(Stuart groaning)
Yep, we're gonna do this.
Nope, we need a blood sample.
We need a, come on, we
need a blood sample.
Get it over here, we need a blood sample.
(Stuart moaning)
Oh, no.
Oh.
Come on, take a drink.
You gotta drink it.
Just trust us.
- Drink it.
Take a drink.
- Drink it.
- Just drink it.
(Stuart coughing)
It's part of the process.
You have to do it, okay.
It's for your own good.
- Just drink it.
[Agent] Just trust us.
Good boy.
Very good.
So, we've got something
we need you to do.
We need you to enter a simulation
and look around and tell us what you see.
You tech boys know about that, right.
You see there's a demon
that's infected our federal
government computers.
And this demon has created
its own simulation world.
Kind of like a video game.
Think of it as like a video game.
But we're gonna send you in
and you're gonna take a look around
and you're gonna tell us what you see.
Sound good?
I can do that.
[Agent] Is that on.
Is that on, you okay?
Yeah.
(keyboard keys clacking)
What do you see?
Tell us what you see.
(dramatic music)
Oh, I'm coming up on a lake.
(dramatic music)
I am gonna try and cross the water.
(dramatic music)
I'm looking everywhere.
I'm almost to the other side
of the lake.
- Now, look around.
Look around.
(dramatic music)
(thunder rumbling)
Whoa.
What do you see?
Tell us what you see.
(dramatic music)
I am all alone.
It doesn't look like anybody else is here.
(dramatic music)
What do you see now?
What do you see?
(footsteps crunching)
I am in a field, like a a field in summer.
(footsteps crunching)
Oh.
(dramatic music)
Come on, kid.
(dramatic music)
(thunder rumbling)
What the fuck?
(dramatic music)
(thunder rumbling)
I gotta get out here.
Is there somebody there?
Oh.
Come on.
(dramatic music)
I see a cornfield.
Is there anybody in the cornfield?
(dramatic music)
What do you see in the cornfield?
What else is there?
Keep telling us what you're seeing.
I'm going through.
I can't see you off the top.
(dramatic music)
What do you see now?
It's a woman.
It's a woman.
(dramatic music)
What's she doing?
She's running.
(dramatic music)
(leaves rustling)
I hear some rustling, I
think there's somebody here.
(dramatic music)
Hi.
Oh my God.
(dramatic music)
Do you like my cornfield?
This is my favorite place.
(dramatic music)
Come with me.
Come on, we're friends now.
Let's go, I gotta show you something.
(The Demon Queen speaking indistinctly)
I need to show you.
It's beautiful.
(dramatic music)
It's home.
You like my home?
It's been so long since I had any friends.
Isn't it beautiful?
We don't know who she is yet.
Get outta there.
All right, all right.
(dramatic music)
Come on.
I gotta get out of here.
Yeah.
I'm out, I'm out.
We're almost there.
We're almost there.
(dramatic music)
(footsteps crunching)
Oh, oh, what is?
Oh my God.
Fuck this shit.
Oh.
[Tim] Hey over here.
Over here, buddy.
Over here.
Right here.
(Stuart screaming)
Holy, that's oh.
What is it?
Oh my God, that's crazy.
Tell us.
Oh.
Don't ask any questions okay?
What do you see in the corn field?
What else is there?
Keep telling us what you're seeing.
Look, I'm sent in here
by a government agency
we've never heard of,
to help you out okay.
Now, these two spooks you're working for,
they're gonna kill you
when you're done doing
what they want you to do.
So you're gonna have to kill these guys.
Make a break for it somehow, okay.
But I'm gonna help you,
and we're gonna help you.
And oh, just call me, Tim.
I'm not actually a walking skeleton.
I'm actually a short
Jewish guy from queens.
But this is my, you know, avatar.
Shit that bitch might be watching,
you know, the one you're looking for,
the demon from your house.
Yeah, she's everywhere at once.
So let's just keep walking
for right now, okay.
Or she'll,
we'll end up in a bullseye,
which we don't want to be in.
We don't want to end
up in her cross hairs,
you know what I mean?
So let's keep walking.
(footsteps crunching)
Just keep walking, buddy.
(footsteps crunching)
(dramatic music)
(footsteps crunching)
I hate this fucking cornfield.
God, this bitch needs to
work on her personal skills.
Look at that thing over there.
You wanna eat that?
Does that look good?
Let's get the fuck outta here, come on.
(footsteps crunching)
(dramatic music)
What do you see?
Take a look.
Oh, I'm looking everywhere.
(dramatic music)
What do you see now?
What do you see?
I hear some rustling.
I think there's somebody here.
(thunder rumbling)
(dramatic music)
There's somebody there.
Come on.
(dramatic music)
There's a woman.
And what's she doing?
(dramatic music)
Where did you go?
(Stuart groaning)
You're my friend now.
Come on, I need to show you something.
Come on with me.
Come on.
What do you see now?
What do you see?
You're gonna really like this.
(dramatic music)
Come on.
Come on, friend, we're getting close.
Come with me.

(dramatic music)
Oh God.
Get back.

And here we go.
Is this on you okay?
You comfortable?
[Stuart] Not really.
[Agent] Okay.
We're gonna put this on

Okay, we have this on.
All right, so we're gonna go ahead

Tell us what you see.
I'm coming up on a cabin.
What else?
There's nothing else
there, just this cabin.
(dramatic music)
(footsteps crunching)
(dramatic music)
Keep looking at it.
Oh, oh, oh my God.
Get in there.
(dramatic music)
I'm trying to look through
the windows but they're all.
What do you see with the cabin?
They're all covered, all the windows.
I don't see, I don't see any smoke.
- Something?
- Coming outta there.
Look around.
(dramatic music)
What else, what else?
I'm walking around the back.
What else?
Come on.

Oh, no, no, no.
That's some scary fucking shit.
Hey, hey, hey.
Look, look, you're not going
anywhere, okay, all right.
You're not going anywhere.
- We need you
to do this, okay, we need you to do this.
- I can't believe it.
- You gotta do it.
Look, look, I know it's,
look, I know it's fucked up, okay, look,
there's a demon and you
have got to find it, okay,
it's in this simulation,
and you've got to find it.
You can do it.
You can do it.
- Okay,
'cause it's disrupting all
of our computer systems.
And you gotta do this for us, okay.
You gotta,
you gotta do it.
- All right.
Look, it'll be okay, all right.
It'll be okay.
But you gotta go back in, okay.
You can do it.
You can do it.
There you go.
You'll be all right.
(Stuart groaning)
(dramatic music)
Hi, baby.
I'm making a favorite dinner.
(dramatic music)
I love you, baby.
I love you, baby.
(thunder rumbling)
(dramatic music)
You can't get away.
(demon screaming)
Oh no.
(dramatic music)
What going on?
(dramatic music)
Hey.
Hey, it's me again, relax.
So look, we're gonna get you
outta this mess, all right.
But you have to do everything I say.
What the fuck was that?
(dramatic music)
Okay, so this entity you're looking for,
we call it The Demon Queen.
She's the worst dude.
She's been making a big mess in the world
for about a hundred years.
Yeah.
Here check it out, okay.
So you gotta, you gotta listen to me man.
What you gotta do is
remove her crown, okay.
That crown on her head
that'll upset her just enough
to send things crashing
a little bit, okay.
And our tech guys can get in
and lock it all down, okay.
That's really all you have to do.
After you do that,
I can't guarantee you what's gonna happen,
but hey, it's for Uncle
Sam, right, Uncle Sam.
Okay, well, I don't know if
you're gonna see me again.
If you do, well I'll buy
your first drink, okay.
But best of luck, partner,
and I'll see you sometime.
(dramatic music)
Don't look at me, man.
(dramatic music)
Okay, all right,
let's go this way.

This is my cabin in the woods,
home away from home.
(dramatic music)
Do you see something?
Is this really you, or is that you?
Wait, is that you over there?
Who could this be?
(dramatic music)
Or maybe it's all an illusion.
(dramatic music)
My secret,

Or is that saw looking really promising?
(thunder rumbling)
You can no longer go there.
Where can I place you next?
(The Demon Queen gasping)
No, sorry.
There's nothing left for you.
We're gonna be together forever.
(footsteps tapping)
It looks like I'm about to win.

[Reporter] Looking ahead,
VR is poised to revolutionize
various sectors beyond
gaming and entertainment.
Imagine a virtual
classroom where students,
from around the world,
can interact as if they
were in the same room.
Or virtual tourism that let's
you explore distant places
without leaving your home.
Advances in haptic
feedback and AI integration
will only enhance these experiences,
making them more realistic and engaging.
As technology's not.
[Newscaster] It offers
incredible immersive experiences,
some argue that it isolates
users from the world.
The potential for addiction
and the physical effects
of prolonged use are concerning.
On the flip side, VR has
revolutionary potential
for education and training,
providing hands-on experience
that were previously impossible.
Ultimately, it's a double edged sword.
[Reporter] The adverse experience
that offers unparalleled realism,
making you feel like you're actually
inside the game or environment.
The graphics are stunning
and the responsiveness is seamless.
Enhancing the overall experience.
However, the high cause
and occasional motion sickness issues
still pose significant barriers
for widespread adoption.
[Newscaster] Rollercoaster
into a virtual reality wonderland.
[Reporter] It shows a great promise.
[Newscaster] With Steven
Spielberg at the joystick,
this film power ups with dazzling visuals
and nostalgic Easter eggs
that will make your inner
gamer level up in delight.
Tye Sheridan plays Wade,
a character who's more
than just a bit mapped hero
on a quest for the ultimate
cheat code to unlock a fortune.
While the plot might sometimes
feel like it's stuck in.
(people speaking indistinctly)
[Reporter] Absolutely
an underrated masterpiece
is a thought provoking
exploration of virtual reality
and its implications, human
perception and identity.
I personally find masterful,
scifi psychological thrill
creates an unsettling atmosphere.
(people speaking indistinctly)
(vehicle engines revving)
(upbeat music)
It's like driving at it's core.
(people speaking indistinctly)
(upbeat music)
(people speaking indistinctly)
[Newscaster] The neon-soaked visuals,
an intense action of pure '80s role.
And Esteves nails the
frantic high stakes game.
Watching that evil gang
come to life and chasing.

This kid in Minnesota,
he made a horror flick
The Amityville something
Who knows, so take your pick
He shot it on his flip phone
It makes me motion sick
But that's the kind of
movie I really wanna see
Yeah, that's the kind of cinema for me
(upbeat music)
Hey, get in Minnesota
They say your movie sucks
But Hollywood can't do that
well for 80 million bucks
Don't listen to us criticize
We're all a bunch of schmucks
And don't you be discouraged
There's no reason why
The Indie Horror film will never die
So keep on making movies
I'll keep on writing songs
'Cause independent horror,
that's where my heart belongs
As long as there is someone
who's brave enough to try
The Indie Horror film will never die
(dramatic music)
